newstyle timmy vs. system x nme

[Glickman]

read on pbnation its review is about 15 people and is rated 10/10 so system x is keeping there customers happy and our doing something good with there products and this marker took them a really long time to make and make it right!

now theres some good reputable reviews right there

if you like it, then you like it, you dont have to explain yourself



would be interesting to test the durability of the nme compared to a timmy though

[tony3]

im no gun tech man and how am i iggnorant i like a product i buy it plain and simple its just funny u dont like system x thats great im proud of u. i like system x nme nuff said!

Saying 1 gun is better then the other is a joke. I really haven't said any reasons why a bob long timmy is better then the system x, besides the quality, which I'm basing on past experiences. You are claiming that they are better then bob long timmys. Explain why then. Also, it would help if you capitalized your words. Makes reading your paragraphs easier.

Delrin is a type of plastic, you know that, yes?

I am aware of that, but System X is notorious for horrible quality parts.

Bob Long guns arent exactly top-notch when it comes to tolerances, you know. I would never hold up the build quality of a timmy against any other gun.

I think they feel like toys bought at "Toys R Us"

Never really liked Timmies, they're too light for my taste and feel like I'm going to break em in half just holding one. I am a big guy though, so I'm sure that's a contributing factor.

Viva La AGD and MacDev!

Well, since I"m betting 99% of you are talking without ever seeing the NME in person, I'll go ahead and throw in the review from someone who DOES have some experience with them!


First of all I"ll admit the past SysX products have been very questionable. However it appears that they're taking steps to change that. They've got a new design team that have worked on these guns (as well as some others that are upcoming) and they're taking more time to make sure things are "right".

When I took this thing out of the box the first thing I could say is WOW! The finish and anodizing are MUCH better than I'd expected. In fact the NME is nearly perfect.

There were no flaws in the ano and there was a distinct absense of the mill marks I've come accustomed to seeing on the timmy.

It is pretty much the same thing as a timmy, but isn't an impulse just a copy of the bushy? Just because it operates the same doesn't mean it is... I can name a ton of blow forward ram operated guns that are all VERY similar aside from manufacturer so the "it's a timmy knock off arguement" really doesn't phase me much.

As far as speed and functionality, it shoots fast and has little kick. In fact I really like it.

Compared to the guns I've seen from SysX in the past, the NME blows them away and is on the level if not better than what I've seen from recent timmys.

I'm not a hard sell though.. I'm not as picky as others.

One of my friends is a die hard timmy fan. In his eyes, if it's not timmy, it's crap. He hates, angels, imps, shockers, trixs..... Anyhow he was able to pick and NME up for a good price so he did.

I was completely expecting him to yell about how much he hated it. BUT he actually was impressed with it as well. He's done nothing but rave about it.

Neither of us have had the NME for very long, so durability and reliability hasn't been completely tested, but so far so good.

I'm not going to get involved in the which gun is better than the other arguement.

What I do want to get across is the fact that the NME isn't what you're used to seeing from sysx. Give it a shot and check it out in person before you start bashing something you've only seen pics of on the net.

hey thanks goldie

goldie u explained it alot better than i could and reliability lukas alias broke how many times and kept breaking wat like 4-6 times and the recent owner wanted to throw it i do have to admit though intimadator gave him a new one and was pretty quick i dont know if that one broke though to. i know julio riveria from nyx and he had a alias and hated it his broke 3 times and this is one of the best gun techs out there. peter can u plz drop it off at the shop and make sure u have my name put on the tank cause i gotta go down there get my cocker fixed from the trade with dan.

i ordered it from system x anyway got it in today....

well lets just say i am very happy with my purchase... so far i will be calling joe in morning to get it to shoot even faster.... till i get a chance to play with it on sunday i will give you what i got from it today with the shooting and testing i did....

open of box: very impressed with how it is presented the gun comes in a sweet looking box with everything cut to fit perfect.gun was nice and shiney no finger prints nothing out of place.

Manual: was very informative gives pic. and description of everything in it... which is a good thing

parts kit: it comes with a parts kit that has mutilple orings bumpers detents and extra hose which is a good thing to have

First Test: well the first test went well i was able to rip a steady rope out of box no settings changed was using a 70/45 stubby with empire b reloader(fresh batt.) was shotting proto paint,formula 13, and heat (gave me a wide range of paint from better to lower grade)
first test with proto paint was fresh had a desent paint to barrel match...

crono: within a +\- of 3 out of box which i was very pleased with

Shooting: well lets just say fastest gun i have EVER shot (keep in mind i am a tech at a shop where i live so i have shot alot of guns) me and my other friends were ablt to shoot clear lines no gapping at all out of box... no shoot down no bounce nothing completely legal wa cronoed around 285. not one chop with over 2 cases of paint shot through it, had some barrel breaks but that was not guns fault that is the paint.. and that did not happen till we shot the heat through it so,,, no heat for me lol

weight: well with it being a little over 3 pounds with barrel and asa and a line it is not the lightest but not in the heavy range either .. with my tank and hopper it is a comfortable setup that is not heavy on either side well balanced gun.

Construction: gun is built very well, everything is nice and tight nothing looks like it was thrown on there well thought out design. gun feels sturdy and like it can take a superman without any problems.(we will see sunday)

Looks: well i love it... it is in the catagory of the best looking out there IMO ... the polished black with all black parts... only thing not black is the steel braided line and the bolt... which gives it something cool i think... with my empire diamond smoke and the black dye c5 tank cover it really looked like a sweet gun

My serial number is NME0089 so i am low in the bunch from how it feels and how it shot today i do not think that i will have any problems with a low serial number gun haveing defects like some other companies have done.. but we will see.

Pics i can take them but are not sure how to post them. so i can take and someone post for me or show me how too would be cool just pm me i will have pics either tomorrow or sat...

i will be able to post another review after my first day of play with it.

just so people do not think i do not know anything about paintball i have been playing since 96' and have shot jsut about every gun made between then and now... i had a choice to get any gun out there (had the money too) but i took an intrest in this.. and i am very pleased so far and i do no think i will be let down at all

if anyone has any tips or anything like that let me know i would like to know them. or anything that i should know..

Looks: well i love it... it is in the catagory of the best looking out there IMO

I dont own an NME but I'd have to agree with that. It just looks so damn sweet in black

[manike]

Both guns are under the NPS Company "umbrella". With the exception of looks, they are pretty much the same gun.

No they aren't.

Where do you people come up with this stuff?

NPS has nothing to do with System X.

BTW, The timmy body is machined NOT molded.

Is the NME gripframe still die cast? or are they machining them now? The original concept model I saw was aweful, but it sounds like they may be getting better.
